Processor Instant Capacity on Demand (iCOD)

Procedures for Changing Processor iCOD Conﬁgurations on nPartitions

HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1

415

Also, both nPartitions must have enough activated or deactivated

processors to accommodate the reduction or increase in processors.

Step 1. Login to the ﬁrst nPartition and deactivate the number of processors you

plan to activate in the second nPartition.

See the procedure Activating and Deactivating Processors with iCOD on

page 412, and use the icod_modify -d... command to deactivate the

processors.

If HP processor set (Pset) software is installed, deactivating processors

removes the corresponding CPU IDs from the Pset to which they were

assigned.

Step 2. Login to the second nPartition and activate the same number of

processors you deactivated in the previous step.

See the procedure Activating and Deactivating Processors with iCOD on

page 412 and use the icod_modify -a... command to activate the

processors.

If HP processor set (Pset) software is installed, the newly-activated

processors are assigned to the local nPartition’s default Pset.

iCOD Contract Changes for an nPartition Server Complex

This procedure describes how to change your existing iCOD contract to

either iCOD Purchase or iCOD Utility by contacting HP sales or support

representatives.

Changing the type of iCOD contract for a server complex will affect your

billing for iCOD services.

Step 1. Contact your HP sales or support representatives and request an iCOD

contract and software change.

Changing the type of iCOD contract and software will require that an HP

service representative alter the iCOD software conﬁguration for all

nPartitions affected by the change.

For nPartitions that have multiple boot devices (such as PRI, HAA, and

ALT), HP iCOD software bundles on every boot device must be updated.
